While there is a way to use a single server IP address, there is
probably no good reason for you to do that if you want to use a
PolyMix workload. Note that a single PC (host) can have thousands of
IP addresses. In Polygraph terminology, the address you are using
right now is often called primary host IP address. The IP addresses
that Polygraph creates for PolyMix tests are called IP aliases.
If you want to use stock PolyMix, please see:
http://www.measurement-factory.com/docs/PolyMix-4/
and try to follow the instructions, doing necessary FreeBSD->Linux
"translation".
The following page explains how Polygraph addressing works, if you
want to customize PolyMix workload to use a single IP instead:
